First off, I apologize for not writing a blog entry
sooner. To be honest, I really didn’t know
what to write about. I am still
struggling with some eye pain and have not been able to resume working out and
I think I was feeling sorry for myself.
I follow probably over 100 different Facebook pages
and blogs related to healthy eating and fitness. Within these are many different plans. Eating plans such as Paleo, Atkins. Carb
Cycling, MediFast, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Weight Watchers, surgery, diet
pills and many more. Fitness plans such
as Crossfit, Beachbody, Insanity, P90X, running, gym memberships, walking,
etc. The point of this is that each one
of us has to find the program that works for us as an individual. God created us all unique for a reason and
what works for you may not work for another.
I may share foods that you would never eat, but I share because someone
may find it helpful. We have to stop
comparing ourselves and our journey with other people. I fall into this trap and feel like I am a
slacker because he/she lost more weight in a shorter amount of time, but then I
read where someone is thrilled to lose 10 pounds in a year. We cannot keep comparing our journeys to each
other. We can provide support and
motivation, but we are unique individuals that have to find what is right for
us.
I cannot believe this is the last day of
September. This month has flown by! I
had set two goals for myself in September:
1.
Lose 8 pounds. - I
lost 5 pounds this month. I am happy
considering I have been very sedentary since my surgery.
2.
Track EVERYTHING I eat. I am
having surgery on the 9th and won’t be able to exercise for most
of the month so my food intake will be crucial. – I did a good job with this
goal. I tracked every single bite than
went into my mouth, even when it wasn't pretty.
1.
I will get my 2 servings of healthy
oils in everyday (I have been bad about this one).
2.
I will stay on plan over our fall
break vacation! (and I want to do a mountain climbing hike –eek!!!)
I am gonna say bye bye for now! Hope
you are all doing well and making every day happy and healthy!
Keep Losing,
Kari
